In this enlightening video, experts gather at the Vatican to delve into the enduring relevance of Humanae Vitae, a landmark church document on married life.

The participants, including practitioners from various fields, such as academia, medical doctors, and parish workers, shed light on the anthropological aspects and conscience in understanding the document’s relevance. Discover the joy and profound insights shared during this conference, as experts delve into what it means to be human, the development of human love, and the importance of forming conscience.
